All things must come to an end, and for the first time I am happy that this toy line finally did. Mattel can make figures here and there, but it is done…so much misinformation this year.

The final figures of Masters of the Universe Classics actually do not disappoint—there are negatives as usual; maybe if I was a fanatic my story would be told in a different way; but what people need to understand is, I have 30 years of MOTU in my veins and I am critical of what Mattel destroys, changes and even does right. I would never just …

It’s a jam-packed month for Masters of the Universe Classics as October finds a way to be terrifying yet smelling so sweet. Let’s get into it!

Up first is a two pack that I will not be opening. There are many reasons for that, mostly because I have a lot to say about Perfuma. Terror Claws Skeletor and Flying Fists He-Man come packed in the same two pack box set that other MOTUC releases have had before. Visually it is a very nice two pack.

Flying Fists He-Man is the weaker of the two for me. The armor and face sculpt …

Talk about a lot of items for the month of August—a lot of money too…

So, let’s cut to the chase and start with the quarterly variant that is Buzz Saw Hordak.

My first impressions on this figure are actually good—amazing right? The usual bits are as follows…Hordak is packaged in the standard bubble—what is really cool is that his chest is open revealing the saw blade, and if I remember correctly, that is how the original 80’s figure was packaged.

The back of the card features the usual crap.

The bio is…just read it if you want. But, the original …

By now if you read any of my reviews on a character affiliated with the Snake Men, you’ll know that I am not a fan; but, I have to say, they would have made great comic relief characters because like Rattlor, Sssqueeze is just as fun and funny!

Sssqueeze is one heck of a figure…oh wait…

The figure comes packaged in the usual bubble.

The back of the card has some snakes and a bio—I forget what it says, you can read it yourself.

Ok…as I was saying, Sssqueeze is one heck of a figure; the detail is what strikes me …

It’s a dream come true, a great set of figures for the month of February—enough so, that January’s Lizard Man is a thing of the past.

In this; part 1; we have Ninja Warrior…huh? Are you telling me that Mattel lost the rights to the name Ninjor? Not so powerful of a company are you?

Anyhow, I think I found a new favorite Classics figure—not the number 1, but up there with cool ones like Stinkor and Trap Jaw.

Ninjor is packaged as usual.

The back of the box has a load of bull shit in the bio section.

Out of …

Although I was never a fan of Masters of the Universe Versus the Snake Men, I have to admit that this 2 pack is really well thought out and it is very cool!

The back of the box has bios for both, pretty cheesy, I have really given up on this made up story that strays from the cartoon. I’ll say it again, for people who grew up with He-Man and for new fans; the bios should be history of the character, not a weak story that retells everything that people know. But, the bastard who did damage the storyline has …

Discussing the August releases from Masters of the Universe Classics in September continues with two looks at very different figures. The New Adventures of He-Man and Princess of Power both got plenty of representation for the month of August. For NA He-Man, fans got to rest their hands (finally) on NA Skeletor. Let’s check him out first.

The usual spiel goes on and on, he comes on the regular card. He actually fills the card up rather well. This is a bulky Skeletor. Mattel even managed to throw in an extra surprise, which will be discussed in a bit. The Space …

This month offers what the real fans of MOTU have been waiting too long for, it’s Thunder Punch He-Man! A quarterly variant and not the figure for April. The Matty morons screwed up on the entire years line and release dates, so because of the situation Thunder Punch He-Man will now be the April figure regardless of what Mattel’s ringers and the dweebs that think they are the ultimate fans of the line say.

One of the coolest figures from the early/mid 80’s, the original figure could have a ring of caps loaded into his backpack and when the figure was …

It took over a month but finally I received Demo-Man, the last figure from the 2011 Masters of the Universe, Mattycollector.com, Club Eternia subscription.

The white mailer box is great, like The Wind Raider and The Star Sisters it has a misprint of “Snake Mountain” printed at the bottom where “Cringer” was at the bottom of the Star Sisters box and “Battle Ram Chariot” was at the bottom of the Wind Raider box–it’s got to be a puzzle game…? OR, Maybe not–whatever.

Demo-Man is an interesting figure, he is the original concept of Skeletor as Vikor is the concept of He-Man. …

Skeletor, Evil Lord Of Destruction, Overlord Of Evil. Either way you put it, he will always be known as He-Man’s worse enemy.

He-Man, The Most Powerful Man In The Universe!  The Heroic icon of the 80’s and forever more.

From the Masters of the Universe Classics collection comes some of the cleanest, most articulated versions of Skeletor and He-Man to ever hit the market. With multiple points of articulation, attention to detail and classically enhanced paint schemes, Skeletor and He-Man are truly the center of ones MOTU collection!

He-Man is armed with his classic 3 pieces of heroism.  Including his gray …
